Title: Perfect balance of engaging material and thought-provoking growth.
Review: Full Disclaimer - I'll admit that I wanted to like this book. I've followed Caroline online for a couple years and have been super impressed by both her talents and the transparency with which they are showcased. Through that engagement, I've gotten a ton of value.But the book wasn't for me. I bought it for my 18 year old daughter in preparation as she leaves college. I know when I was her age I certainly wasn't thinking about my future in the terms Caroline lays out in the book, but I wanted my daughter to have a shot at doing things differently. Better. That's where it get's good.First, the book is colorful and engaging. It's playful yet complete on many levels. It can be used superficially or in depth- and so far I've been happy to see that she's done a bit of both. She's 18- I don't expect her to have enough life-experience yet to anticipate the challenges ahead of her- but by answering the questions that Caroline has posed- and writing answers she can refer to, I know she'll at least be thinking about the right questions and have a perspective in place that let's her better frame life as it happens.Anyway, I think the book was very well made, and it made for a great gift- not just a journal, but a look down the path towards the life any sane person wants. Hard to do all that and be easy to follow at the same time!

Title: This journal reveals you to yourself in a fun and creative way
Review: I waited until I finished the journal before writing a review. Why? Because most such books grab my attention at the start and lose my interest about half-way through. That didn't happen with "Your Brightest Life." I looked forward to my journaling sessions so much that I felt sad when I turned the last page. But then I read Caroline's suggestion to return and tap into the journal again and again. I plan to read through it monthly and see what new insights it brings.My favorite section was "Intention." It begins with the statement that "you control the quality of your day" and continues with the comment that "life is not something that happens to you: YOU go out there and happen to life." Like many of Carolyn's observations, this was powerful and multilayered. As I worked through each exercise in the section, I uncovered another aspect of my ability to "happen to life." I won't go so far as to say that I experienced a revelation, but I certainly gained a new and valuable perspective on how I influence and interact with the circumstances I encounter.I highly recommend "Your Brightest Life" to anyone who is open to a creative, multifaceted journaling experience. And don't be afraid to mess up this beautiful work of art. I let Caroline's art inspire me to make a pretty mess, and I'm better for the experience.

Title: Love it for myself, and my friends have loved getting it as a gift
Review: The artwork in this journal is so beautiful, and the content goes as deep (or not) as you want it to go. I was a little surprised at how much verbiage there is and would have preferred a little less, but there's also plenty of room to write, so no problem. All in all, a journal that I love to use. I've given it as a gift to a number of friends, and besides the expected "thank you so much I love it" which might just be the courtesy card, they report later how much they've enjoyed using it. So it goes deeper than just lip service.(If you have found my review helpful, I'd really appreciate if you would click the "Helpful" button. Thanks so much for reading! Liz)

Title: Insightful and inspiring!
Review: I would have ordered this book for the artwork alone, but it turns out the content is pretty great, too! I'm only a few sections in, but already, Caroline has inspired me to take a look at myself in ways I've never considered. Right now, I'm especially loving the section where she asks you to look at the various layers of your life and honestly reflect on how the world sees you, how your closest friends see you, and how you see yourself. It's fun to bring a creative element to self-reflection, and I can't wait to work my way through this journal!If you like this journal, you'll love everything Caroline and her husband, Jason, create. They are some of the most authentic, humble, encouraging, creative people I've ever encountered.

Title: I love so many things about this book!
Review: I have not been as excited about a book coming out since the Harry Potter series were coming out. I love everything Caroline creates and this book is like a culmination of all the best things she puts out there. Iâm blown away by how much she fit into a 195 page book. I have already read the whole thing and Iâm excited to go back in and fill in the unique journal prompts. All of the beautiful color and words will brighten anyoneâs day.Side note: the foil on the colorful cover makes me so happy! And on the back, the blurb and barcode is on a removable sticker so I can have a clean design which I really appreciated! Itâs the little things. 🙂

Title: Fun, beautiful, and oh-so-powerful
Review: I preordered this journal/book because I love Caroline. I keep doodling, doing the activities, and absorbing this journal because it's aaaaamazing. If you want to explore your own interests and align with your values, this journal is perfect for you. Plus you get to use markers and doodle, so go buy it. It's like therapy for a quarter (eighth? sixteenth? who knows) of the price.

Title: A Stunningly Beautiful Experience
Review: Iâm sure Iâll have to update this review once I actually complete the journal... but I have to say the experience of flipping through it has already been worth the money. It is a stunningly beautiful piece of art. Itâs everything I would expect from the artist/author and more. The color and design detail in every page is worth the purchase price. Masterfully done.

Review: The book is very pretty and colourful! Everything is so creatively put together that I already feel inspired by just flipping through the pages.The art pages are beautiful and the quotes really get you thinking. If you don't mind tearing pages from books (yikes!) you could put some of the pages on your wall and be inspired every day (I just can't bring myself to do that though because I love books too much).Personally, I especially loved reading the stories about Caroline's own journey. It's so relatable and she puts everything into words beautifully. She hits the nail on the head many times with topics I struggle with and she offers many great insights.If she would ever put all of her newsletters into a book I'd purchase it in a second :)If you're looking for a beautiful and creative book that helps you find your authentic path in life, you won't be disappointed. I can highly recommend it!

Review: I've been working my way through this book for about a week now. It is inspiring, challenging, useful, beautiful, and really fun to work on! Mine is starting to fill up with colours and doodles, and every page is becoming a lesson I appreciate going back to. The instructions are clear and well written, the stories are lovely and the paper is great quality so only my very strongest markers bleed through. I am also loving all the little quote pages throughout. A real joyful journal that has helped me focus in on what I really want.
